Money strategy for the Church in the first missions

  • If you choose to play the Church side, you will notice that you will have to be a lot more careful with your money in the early missions. You don't have any decent weapons at the start of the game: only the Uzi and knockout gas are at your disposal. On the first Mission you can not research anything.

    Do not spend money yet on cybernetic modifications because you will need the money later on. At the end of Mission REF 1, DO NOT research miniguns and DO NOT buy medikits. Save your money for Mission REF 2, because you HAVE to buy a indoctrinator, and it's quite expensive. If you can't buy it, your game is over because you can't win this Mission in any other way.

    You only have to equip one of your agents with the indoctrinator. In this Mission REF 2, you will find your first bank. It contains 1000000 credits. After this Mission, you can finally go shopping: buy cybernetic parts level 1 and the medikits, and start to research the miniguns as fast as you can. Put a lot of money into it. Mission REF3 is definitely the last Mission you can win with the Uzi's alone.
